Ph.D. Program

Pursuing a doctoral degree is a significant academic and professional undertaking, and the "best" field of study depends on your interests, career goals, and the areas where you excel. A Doctoral degree from NCU is seen as the most coveted for a student as it is recognized as the top Private University in Delhi/NCR. This programme is expected to have the motivation and rigour to produce original research in the chosen thrust area of research. A student is expected to publish at least two research papers in peer-reviewed Scopus or Web of Science-indexed journals. The progress is evaluated every 6 months. At the end of the research work carried out, the scholar is required to present his/her research work in the form of a written document called a Ph.D. thesis and has to successfully defend their work in front of Experts in that field. The unique distinguishing factor is that one of the Expert invigilators during the final presentation is mandated to be from a Foreign University.
